Burundi police on Thursday arrested a British and a French journalist during a sweep for rebels in flashpoint districts of the capital, officials said on Friday, a move likely to further strain tense relations between Bujumbura and Western donors.
Moise Nkurunziza, deputy police spokesman, said the police had picked up British photojournalist Phil Moore and Jean Philippe Remy, a French journalist, during raids in Jabe and Nyakabiga neighbourhoods in Bujumbura, Reuters reported.
“The police arrested five people including a British national who was a journalist,” Nkurunziza said, adding that the Frenchman had then come to ask about his British colleague’s whereabouts and was also arrested “for interrogation motives.”
Both men had journalist accreditation in Bujumbura, he said.
In a statement on its website, Le Monde demanded the release of both journalists, saying they were the newspaper’s special correspondents in Burundi.
